Topic: To Newbs, introduce yourself. (Read 147612 times)

Just wanted to make an official "hello" to everyone, I already sort of did before in my first post but fuck it, the site is so great I'll do it twice. I couldn't be more happy that someone made a nice new board for all of the cigarettes & coffee people. I was pissed the day it happened, I'm not ashamed to admit it. It was the best message board on the net for my money. I love this new one though, it's definitely as good if not better. I LOVE the logos (at the top right of the screen), those are the fucking coolest things I've ever seen. Just about everyone is of one of my favorite movies, really fun stuff guys. I also love the diverse array of forums, it's fun to talk about films other than pta's sometimes and other filmmakers and music too (only sometimes!). I like the whole site, thank you to everyone involved in the making of it and hello to everyone on the site!

Okay, just got back from Barcelona, and man- what a great city it is! It's got it all man- nice beaches, mountains, cool museums and architecture, GREAT food (paella and tapas, mmmm) cheap wine, and man- the spanish know how to party. Went out to clubs that were still going strong at 6am. I'm marrying a spanish girl- no doubt in my mind.

I must admit that I went through a little bit of xixax withdrawl. I had all the usual symptoms- constant headaches, loss of appetite, anal leakage, erratic blindness, premature ejaculation. It's a good thing I had my little blue friends with me to calm my nerves-

Okay, now that I'm back, first order of business is to get really really drunk, round up all you LoTR haters and give you all a good kick in the nuts. Shame on you!

My name is Matt [but you can call me SB or Silver or whatever takes your flight of fancy]. I'm a seventeen year old student, but not really. If this makes any sense. I actually consider myself a filmmaker/writer who still has a year of school to go, it isn't really like a hobby but an actual thing where school is the hobby. Making sense?

Anyway. I've had a look around and the place looks swellegant. I'm looking forward to getting dirty. Not physically dirty, but you know.

I found this forum by accident and it looks great. I hope I can make some interesting contributions to it. I'm not a filmmaker but very much a movie enthusiast, among other things regularly organizing movie marathons at my own place. I live in Amsterdam and so my movie taste is more of a cross breed between Europe/Asia and the US. Favourite directors include Lynch, Coen brothers, Tarantino, Burton, Tarkovsky, Welles, Renoir, Carné, Fassbinder, ah well ... the list is pretty much endless. Looking forward to some great discussions.
